How to Access STAAR Scores
Dear Herrera Families,

Thank you for your partnership and support throughout this school year. As you know, students in grades 3–5 participated in the STAAR assessments this spring. STAAR is one of many tools used to measure student learning and provide valuable information about students' academic progress.

In late May and early June, parents should have received an email from EPISD's Strategic Plan, Analytics, and Accountability Department from the email address noreply@episd.org. This email contains information needed to access your child's STAAR results.

Beginning June 16, 2026, STAAR results will be available through the Texas Assessment Family Portal and Parent Portal. Attached is a flyer that explains how to locate your child's unique Access Code, which is required to log in to the Texas Assessment website and view results. Please note that campuses will not receive printed copies of STAAR reports for distribution this year.

Your child's STAAR report provides detailed information about performance in each tested subject, including strengths and areas where additional support may be beneficial. Many parents find it especially helpful to review specific questions their child answered incorrectly, as well as the personalized resources available through the portal. These resources can be used throughout the summer to support continued learning and growth.

If you experience difficulty accessing your child's results, please contact the campus, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you again for your continued partnership. We hope you and your family enjoy a safe, healthy, and restful summer!
